real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers
AI overview
An irrational number is a real number that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction or ratio of two whole numbers. These numbers are important because they fill gaps on the number line that fractions alone cannot reach, and many fundamental mathematical concepts and natural phenomena—like the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter—involve them.
